Topic   The 2023 Seoul International Book Fair andthe K-Book Copyright Market On-site Report on Hot Issues in the Copyright Market   2023.07.03   The “National Book Fair,” which began in 1954, was upgraded to an international book fair in 1995 and became the “Seoul International Book Fair (SIBF).” I joined the publishing industry in 1995 as a copyright agent, and attended the SIBF for the first time in the same year.

Observing the Stature of K-Literature Through Foreign Literary Awards

Topic   Observing the Stature of K-Literature Through Foreign Literary Awards   2021.10.05   Korean literature was first introduced to foreign countries in the late 19th century. However, it wasn’t until after works of Korean literature started receiving literary awards abroad that they were translated and published full-scale in foreign countries, attracting foreign readers and grabbing the interest of major publishers and publishing agencies in foreign countries.Some awards have been given to works of Korean literature since the early 2000s, but ever since Please Look After Mom by Shin Kyung-Sook received the Man Asian Literary Prize, works of Korean literature have continuously been winning literary prizes, and the number of those prizes have been increasing as well. Since 2012, when Castella by Park Min-Gyu received the Japan Translation Award in 2015, and The Vegetarian by Han Gang was the winner of the Man Booker International Prize in 2016, interest in Korean li...

Export Case   Korean Books Loved by German Readers   2021.08.02   K-pop and K-drama are hot in Germany as well. According to a news article released by Yonhap News Agency on February 9 this year, the number of freshmen choosing to study Korean Studies at the Free University of Berlin, Germany, increased from 25 in 2008 to 350 in 2021. Also, we are receiving almost 200 applicants for the Korean class open at the Language Center of the Technical University of Munich each semester where I’m teaching students. On top of these two cases, I can also recall the days where we struggled and worked so hard to find a publisher that would accept our first translated book in 1993. This is why the recent boom in Germany about Korean culture, including the language and literature, is more vivid to me.Korean literature has been translated and published in Germany mainly with the support of the Daesan Foundation and the Literature Translation Institute of Korea.

Korean Books Sought by Chinese Readers

Korean Books Sought by Chinese Readers   2020.07.13     During the three years of China’s import ban on Korean content that began in August 2016, Korea’s export of general books was significantly hit. However, for complete children’s book collections, picture books, educational materials, and comics, Chinese publishers omitted imprints and left out the nationality part of the authors, not bringing a stop to the import of copyrights. It was because the demand was high. Around September last year, beginning with the Beijing International Book Fair, Korean books’ export to China enjoyed eased regulation across books for adults and children, continuing the recovering trend.     Import of Korean Books   The restriction on issuing ISBN on Korean books triggered by the THAAD incident was eliminated from 2019, and since then, marking the nationality of Korean writers and imprints has recovered to a normal level.
